Hi there! I'm a Ph.D. student at the University of Toronto, where I am so fortunate to be supervised by the brilliant Prof. Steven Waslander (Nicest Steve Ever!) in the Toronto Robotics and AI Lab. I'm affiliated with Vector Institute founded by Prof. Geoffrey Hinton. I have also been fortunate to do research at/with:

and as a Research Assistant at/with I obtained my bachelor's degree with highest honor May-Fourth Medal (五四奖章) at Beihang University, China.

My research interests lie in the intersection between robotics, machine learning, and computer vision, with special interest in 3D/4D vision, multimodal learning, LLM agents, end-to-end self-driving, human-robot interaction, and motion forecasting. I recently focus on developping generalizable decision-making and scalable perception systems, powered by foundation models and learning paradigm that scales well with data, viewing safety as the most precious priority.

I have authored 2 books [1] [2], was the awardee of Qualcomm Fellowship 2025, the winner of 2022 CARLA autonomous driving challenge, and won the best paper award honorable mention at RA-L 2021, first prize in the National Challenge Cup 2017 (全国挑战杯一等奖 [1] [2], known as the Olympics of Sci. and Tech. for university students in China), and co-founded a start-up in industrial UAVs.
